A project I worked on with the Switzerland-based band Monicka And The Wolf. I was asked to create an illustration to be used on posters, web adverts, t-shirts, as well as create their logo. I recorded myself working in Photoshop and synced it to their single Chasing Lions.

Teamed up with tattoo artist Joe Kintz (www.instagram.com/joe_kintz_tattoos/) to release this range of tees. Was able to keep the detail of his illustration on a single screen for the black and white tees, and used a white underlay to pop it out on the grey muscle tank.

One rich man had several sons and only daughter, whom he wanted to marry a rich husband. But as fate young beauty fell in love with a poor but handsome guy. Not having received a father's blessing, a boy and a girl fled to the lake Burabay, where they began to live together. The rich man was told to return the rebellious daughter and her lover to kill. Soon young found, but they escaped, swimming away from pursuers in a boat in the middle of the lake. However, the assassins came upon the young man and the girl, not wanting to submit to his fate, turned to stone, which is still reminiscent of this sad story.

One of my first posters for the "Culture of Cult" show in Marquette. Took a look through some old work and remember being so proud of this piece, makes you realize how far you have come. And that is one of the many joys of design. How bout them Chili Peppers though!

Yesterday I was watching The Story of Film: An Odyssey with my girlfriend. The episode featured a lot of Indian cinema (and the beginnings of cinema in color). We noticed that there was a lot of mint green and salmon pink in the indian color schemes, so I made this Sikh in mint and salmon to try out the color scheme. Also this is another multi cultural headdress to try out.

So this is part two of the headdress icon set. I decided on a style in which inner lines are a bit thinner than the outside ones.

In this one I created a traditional dutch (Zealandic) type of headgear, normally associated with a milkmaid here in holland. Through this one I got interested in traditional dutch headgear. It's just so weird! With little gold paddles sticking out of the side of your head and everything...

But, back to my original point. I'm going to try to make a small iconset with all types of traditional headgear, in full color, with shading. Next up: India.

So I made some big leaps this morning, making the Hijab sketch into a real icon. In this icon I really did my best to keep the flow of the fabric visible in all its simplicity. And when I thought it was finished (read: good enough to show to other people), I did some colouring and shading as well.

So... Do you like it? Have any tips to upgrade this (or for the next icon I make)? Is this a good start of a series? Shall I upload this to The Noun Project?

Sketching out new icons for the Noun Project. This time I'm basing everything on hand sketches, cleaning them up in illustrator. The first sketches are a celebration of the multi-cultural society, in which the dutch milk maid (melkmeisje), and the equally dutch muslim woman go side by side.
